Carrageenan Free Gluten Free Bistecca alla Fiorentina

This is Florentine steakhouse cooking at its most primal — a thick, bone-in cut seared hard over screaming heat until a deep mahogany crust locks in every bit of flavor. The ingredient list is refreshingly short: quality beef, kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, and a couple of rosemary sprigs draped over the top while it rests. That simplicity is exactly what makes it so satisfying, and it also means there's nothing hidden to worry about — no sauces, no marinades, no processed additives like carrageenan lurking in the background. Carrageenan tends to sneak into dairy-based sauces, pre-marinated meats, and packaged seasonings, so cooking from scratch with whole ingredients like these is the cleanest way to sidestep it entirely. The technique of resting the steak at room temperature before it hits the pan, then finishing with a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of flaky sea salt, is classic for a reason — it produces a crust that crackles and an interior that stays tender all the way through. Slicing against the grain and fanning the pieces around the bone makes for a genuinely dramatic presentation that feels restaurant-worthy without any real fuss.
